Raphaelle Standell-Preston (aka Ra) and Alexander Cowan (aka Agor) have followed a distinctive path over their past seven years as Montreal-based electro pop duo, Blue Hawaii. The pair’s chilling sophomore record of 2013, Untogether, was released simultaneously with the breakup of their romantic relationship, followed by extensive touring, still maintaining their professional and musical bonds. The duo have focused on their own projects since then-- Ra is the frontwoman of art rock band Braids, and Agor has developed his DJing and dance music production in Los Angeles and Berlin-- until now. On Oct. 6, Blue Hawaii will put out Tenderness, their third full-length that Arbutus Records calls “a concept album which brings forth the challenges of handling relationships online.”
